market applications

This year, there will be numerous opportunities for queer vendors/community groups at Halifax Pride! The Community Market and QTBIPOC Market both take place over parade weekend.

QTBIPOC Market

  • Date: Thursday, July 17, 8:00pm-11:00am.

  • Location: Garrison Grounds.

Community Market

  • Date: Saturday, July 19, 1:00pm-5:00pm.

  • Location: Bell Rd Indigo parking lot (attached to Garrison Grounds)

  • This market takes place during Drag on the MainStage following the Pride Parade.

  • NEW THIS YEAR: The market is taking place in the Bell Road parking lot attached to the Garrison Grounds. Most market spots are uncovered, but vendors are welcome to bring their own 10x10 pop up tent. A limited number of covered 10x10 booths will be available under a large tent. 

Fees

Due to rising operating costs, we've had to increase the registration fees for participation in this year's Community Market. If this fee poses a financial barrier to your participation, please indicate this in your application form. We'll reach out upon acceptance to provide support. Financial constraints will not affect your eligibility or approval.

Deadline to apply is Thursday, May 15 at 10:00pm.

FOOD vendors

We are currently accepting applications from licensed food vendors and food trucks to participate in our 2025 Festival Site at the Garrison Grounds.

Vendor opportunities are available on the following dates:

  • Friday, July 18

  • Saturday, July 19

  • Sunday, July 20

All food vendors must be fully licensed and operate from a self-contained unit. At this time, Halifax Pride is unable to accommodate unlicensed food operations.

We welcome applications from vendors offering diverse and dietary inclusive menu options that reflect the spirit of our festival and community.
